Ch. 3
Mel POV
I stood on the outskirts of the meadow. The wolves on one side and vampires on the other side. They were glaring at each other. The wolves were glaring at the vampires. They blamed them for the resent killings all over and the numerous amounts of vampires floating around.
"No!" I screamed but nothing came out. They didn't understand, this was not the Cullen's fault this was mine, all mine.
A man came up behind me and laid his heavy hand on my shoulder. He started rubbing my back hard and I tried to get away but his grasp was too hard.
"It's his fault!" I yelled to them, but it was too late. Emmett was on Jacob's back biting with Jacob clawing and screaming in pain. "It's his fault!" I yelled again. I lay down in pain. The two men I had loved dearly were fighting, it was his fault, but it was also mine.
He picked me up and carried me like a baby in his arms. I looked up to his face but it was black from the darkness around us. I couldn't see anything, but I knew deep down who it was. What was his name?
"It's your fault! It's your fault. It's your…"
I sat straight up in bed. I have been having this dream for a week now and I couldn't figure out yet who it was. Maybe it didn't matter. Nothing they had been fighting about had happened yet. Hopefully it never will. That's all I could hope for.
I brought Jacob to the house that morning that I had wanted. It was the kids' house and I wanted them to be comfortable. Jacob was skeptical that they would be.
"Wouldn't it be hard on them living in the same house they grew up in? I think it would bring back hard memories. I don't think so Mel." Jacob said walking around.
"I don't know. You really think so? But it is so cute and homey. But I think your right. It will be hard for them."
"We can keep looking. This was too far from the pack anyway. I like to be right in the middle of them so I know everything that is going on."
"Fine. You know any good ones?"
Shasha POV
I lay on the cold doctor table with this disgusting cold slim covering my stomach. Paul was at my side holding my hand. I was getting an ultra sound. I was a month pregnant and the doctor wanted to check the heath and growth.
"I can't find the heart beat!" The Kim said to the near by doctor. She had the ultra sound thing you hold in her hand right under my chest.
"That would be because you have it on his butt, try here." The doctor looked exactly like Carlisle except less good looking and a British accent. I noticed out of the corner of my eye Kim checking him out.
"So, Kim, how was your date with Seth last night?" I smiled at her.
She glared at me but she under stood. She just wanted a peek. So did I, he was fine!
"There he is! And yes, it's a he. And it has a big-ish head like Paul. He's still small though." Kim said freezing the screen so it wouldn't move.
"That's our baby. What we have to care for." I squeezed his hand tight and he stared at the baby. Now I was really scared. I had a kid in my stomach that I was going to have to care for.
Kim cleaned all the goo off my stomach and then we all left. It was the end of Kim's shift and we were headed to Emily's for lunch. It was becoming a habit. We caught up with the girls on the day's gossip and the guys made plans for their werewolf thing. Sometimes it wasn't always the werewolf thing. It was pouring ran that day so we had to stuff in the little house. We were the last to arrive.
"Hey guys!" Emily greeted as we walked in the door. "How was the doctor's appointment?"
"Good. Well, Kim couldn't find the heart beat at first because she had the thing on his butt. And yes, it's a he! Another werewolf they'll have to teach the ropes." I smiled big as I picked up a sandwich and sat around the table with the other girls. The guys were in the living room watching the football game. Packers vs. the Bears. Two major rivals.
"Are me and Kimmy the only ones not thinking about kids? You guys are still really young and just met these guys and your having kids already. Patience is a virtue." Krissy said. We had to call Kim Kimmy because there was another Kim in the house and that was her nickname along time ago.
"I just want to help those poor kids and me and Jacob are meant to be together any way, right Jake?" Mel said standing up for herself.
"Yea, uh-huh, TOUCHDOWN!" He yelled from the other room.
"Anyway, let's talk about something besides kids." Krissy said.
"Like what?" I asked.
Charlie walked in the door. He wanted to watch the game with Billy and everyone. He still had his uniform on from work.
"He guys, sorry I am late. There was some business I had to deal with at the station." Charlie said as he shook the rain out of his hair and set down his coat. He took as seat on the coach next to Billy in his wheel chair and Jacob.
"What happened?" Emily asked with Butch in her arms.
"There have been a lot of men disappearing to nowhere. We can't find them. And we finished the investigation on the two kids', Rafe and Melody, parents. They were killed in an animal attack. We have no idea what kind."
I had an idea. I heard Mel sigh in shock behind me. Jacob stood by her side trying to consol her. Tears were also forming in her eyes. No one knew she would start crying like this. It was sad, but not worth crying over.
Krissy POV
I stayed after to help Emily clean up and to spend time with Ben. We both just wanted to hang out and talk. It seemed we hadn't had any chances to do that for a long time. The rain stopped so we took a walk down to the beach hand in hand.
"How come you have blond hair? I thought everyone here was suppose to have darker hair." His hair was starting to get shaggy and hang in his face like a surfer sweep, but it was cute on him.
"My dad didn't marry someone on the Res. My mom had long beautiful blond hair. And she was so pale. She died a while ago. Cancer. She lost all of her hair. I am just glad she is out of pain now." He squeezed my hand for a second while he gathered himself.
"I am sorry." I whispered.
"It's okay." He paused when we reached the beach and just stared at the clouds making room for the sun. He turned and looked at me. "Ever gone cliff diving?" a huge smile came over both of our faces.
He led me up to the top of the cliff and I stared down at the water below. It was a ways down and I was kind of scared. I backed up a little.
"It's okay, no has died, yet." I backed up farther. "I was kidding. I'll jump with you." His big hand took mine and we walked to the edge. "1, 2, 3!"
We leaped off still in our clothes. My eyes were closed tight. The wind blew hard in our faces. I washed away thoughts of worry. Worrying about having kids, the attacks, dying from this fall. My mind was just empty. The water surprised me. I hadn't been thinking about it. I just floated around for a while then opened my eyes. Ben was looking me in the eye both of his hands on my waist. We both smiled and swam to the top.
"You like it?" His smile was huge now.
All I could do is nod. I was still in my little world of no worry. We swam to the beach, which was farther than I expected.
"I loved it," I finally answered. "The wind just washed away my worries and cares. All I cared about was being here, with you." I put my hand to his warm cheek. He leaned forward and kissed me on the lips. He picked me up from sitting on the sand and just spun me around. "I love you." I whispered. I didn't want anyone else to hear it. Only me and him.
"I love you, too." He wrapped his arm around my waist and kissed my forehead. "Let's go home."
I spent the night with him. Laying quietly beside him with my head on his chest. I soothed his nightmares and soothed mine also. Being safe and with him, with no worries or cares in the world. Except me and him, together, forever.
